Macro Maker: Record and Automate Tasks Without Coding

Four simple steps

How to build your first macro.

The process is straightforward: record your actions, review what happened, customize the timing, and assign a hotkey.

Hit record and perform your taskClick the record button, then do whatever you want to automate—fill a form, open files, type text—at a normal pace.

Watch the steps populate in real timeEach mouse movement, click, and keystroke gets logged automatically into a numbered list.

Adjust delays and coordinatesEdit the time between steps and fine-tune click positions so your macro runs reliably every time.

Save and assign a hotkeyChoose where to save the file, pick a keyboard shortcut, and your macro is ready to run instantly.

What you'll see

See exactly what your macro will do before running it.

The recorded steps appear in a clear timeline so you can verify each action. You control how long the macro waits between steps, making it reliable whether your system is fast or slow.

Why recording wins

Why record instead of code?

Recording lets you build automation in seconds, not hours—and you stay in full control.

Faster than scripting

Show Macro Maker what to do by doing it once. No syntax, no debugging, no learning curve. You're done in minutes.

Lightweight and standalone

Macros save as files you can move, share, or run on any Windows machine. No dependencies or installations needed.

Edit without re-recording

Tweak delays, coordinates, or key sequences in the editor. If something needs adjusting, change it directly instead of starting over.

Run on demand with hotkeys

Assign any keyboard shortcut and trigger your macro instantly. No menus, no dialogs—just press your key.

Got questions

Common questions about recording macros.

Can I edit a macro after recording it?

Yes. Open the saved file in Macro Maker and adjust any step, delay, or coordinate directly in the editor. You don't need to re-record.

What if my screen resolution changes?

Edit the click coordinates in the macro file to match your new layout. Macro Maker shows you exact pixel positions for easy updates.

Can I run a macro on a schedule?

Macro Maker triggers macros with hotkeys. For scheduled tasks, you can call the macro file from Windows Task Scheduler or other automation tools.

Do I need to keep Macro Maker open while a macro runs?

No. Once recorded and saved, the macro runs independently. You only need Macro Maker open to record, edit, or assign hotkeys.

Can I combine multiple macros into one?

You can edit a macro file to include multiple sequences, or run them back-to-back using hotkeys. Direct combining is not built in.

Is it safe to run macros from unknown sources?

Review the steps in any macro file before running it. Macro Maker displays the full action list so you can see exactly what will happen.

What formats can I save macros in?

Macro Maker saves to its own portable file format. You can open and edit the file anytime in Macro Maker or share it with others.
